Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief:

Overview

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Gynecomastia must be differentiated from pseudo gynecomastia, breast cancer, lipoma, mastitis, dermoid cyst or pectoralis major hypertrophy.

Differentiating X from other Diseases

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
[Disease name] must be differentiated from [[differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

As [disease name] manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtype. [Subtype name 1] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], such as [differential dx1] and [differential dx2]. In contrast, [subtype name 2] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 2], such as [differential dx3] and [differential dx4].

Differential Diagnosis	Differentiating Features

Gynecomastia	Round discrete mass felt under areola and usually bilateral.
Pseudogynecomastia	Increased adipose rather than glandular tissue on examination.
Lipoma	Asymmetric breast enlargement.
Breast cancer	Nipple discharge, Axillary lymphadenopathy, usually nonpainful mass.
Sebaceous cyst	Asymmetric enlargement and swelling feels closer to skin.
Mastitis	Systemic s/s of infection.
